You don't have to wait for warmer weather to treat yourself to soft serve ice cream -- especially when you can make professional-quality desserts from your own kitchen countertop.
The Ninja Swirl by Creami Ice Cream Maker is the latest innovation for at-home treats. Though newly launched at Amazon, it's already a best-seller, and it's easy to see why. Unlike previous models of the Ninja Creami, which have been praised by PEOPLE Shopping editors and celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, the new machine can whip up soft serve in addition to hard ice cream, frozen yogurt, and more.
With a total of 13 one-touch programs overall, the Ninja Swirl includes six more functions than the classic Ninja Creami. There's Soft Serve, Fruit Whip, Frozen Custard, Swirled Lite Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, and Creami Fit, in addition to the existing settings for scoopable treats.
Soft serve creations dispense from the nozzle on the lefthand side of the machine, but the nifty three-speed handle allows you to control the pace to prevent messes and perfect parlor-quality swirls.
To get started, simply prepare your base in one of the pints, freeze for 24 hours, then load it into the machine and watch the magic happen. You can invent your own flavor combinations and base ideas, or follow instructions from the included recipe book.
Another perk of the Ninja Swirl is its ability to make healthier desserts. The Creami Fit setting allows users to mix low-calorie, high-protein treats, while the Fruit Whip program can blitz up whole fruit with ease. Users also have free rein to cater to their own tastes, be it with dairy-free, vegan, or keto-friendly options. Best of all, the pints, paddle, plunger, and drip tray are all dishwasher-safe for easy care.
Don't wait for summer to start enjoying frozen desserts. Grab the new Ninja Swirl by Creami Ice Cream Maker to easily whip up yummy creations from scratch.
